Now I See

Good Morning,

Good Morning,

John 9:25 (NIV)
He replied, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!"

Adam from CF Devotionals sent along a great insight about this short verse of Scripture that has to do with why we are sometimes afraid to witness to a non believer:

We all know we should share our story, or testimony as it is often called in religious circles, about how God transformed our life. But sometimes we don't because we are afraid someone might ask us a question that we don't know the answer to. Not knowing the answer to questions didn't stop the blind man of John 9. The Pharisees came at him with questions about Jesus and the man simply said, "I don't know. The one thing I do know is that he changed me. I was blind and now I see." That is all we need to know. Think back on your own spiritual blindness. Think back on the moment you met Jesus and he opened your eyes. Remember how great it was to see.

Yes, one of the great fears that most people have about witnessing to someone IS that we might be asked a question to which we do not have the answer. As Adam says in his message, we ought not to worry about that, and simply tell the story of how OUR eyes were opened when Jesus came into our lives.

An idea and concept that we need to remember whenever we speak up and tell others about Jesus Christ.

On a personal note today...Please take a moment to pray for my health. Seems that I've gotten hold of some virus or other and it's wreaking havoc with my throat and making me very tired. Not that big of a deal...except for the fact that I'm scheduled to take part in Journey Church's talent show tomorrow night. Please pray that God will take this away and that all will be well by tomorrow evening. Thanks!

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
